If you're searching for online permanent makeup courses, chances are you're somewhere between:

“I want to learn permanent makeup.” and “I already know how to tattoo, but I want to get better at a specific PMU procedure.”

Maybe you're brand new to permanent makeup.

Maybe you've already taken a basic course and feel like you were handed a certificate and then basically told, “Good luck out there.”

Or maybe you've been tattooing for years and there are certain procedures that still make you stop and think, “I need more training on this.”

I've been in the permanent makeup industry for more than 13 years, and I've been on both sides of this industry—as an artist and as an educator.

That's exactly why I created Inspired by Ms Amber Red.

I wanted to create online permanent makeup training that artists could actually use.

Not just another course where you watch a few videos, download a certificate and never open the training again.

The goal is to teach you the how, why and thought process behind the procedure, so you can actually understand what you're doing when you get back to your own studio.

Check out the Inspired by Ms Amber Red online PMU courses here. 

Why Take an Online Permanent Makeup Course?

Let's get one thing straight:

Online training isn't the right fit for every artist or every situation.

There are procedures that require hands-on practice, supervised experience and repetition. You should never expect an online course to magically replace putting in the work.

But online permanent makeup courses can be an incredibly useful way to learn when you need flexibility.

You can learn from home.

You can go through the material at your own pace.

You can pause.

Rewatch.

Take notes.

Come back to sections you struggled with.

And you don't have to fly across the country every time you want to learn a new technique.

That's one of the reasons I built my courses the way I did.

I want artists to be able to learn when it actually works for their life and business.

Who Are My Online PMU Courses For?

My courses are designed for both new and experienced permanent makeup artists.

If you're brand new, you can use the training to build your understanding of a specific procedure.

If you've already been tattooing for a while, you can use the courses to refine your technique, troubleshoot problems and look at a procedure from a different perspective.

I've had artists take my courses because they wanted to add a new service.

I've had artists take them because they were struggling with a specific procedure.

And I've had experienced artists tell me they simply wanted to see how I approach the work.

And that's an important distinction.

You don't have to be a beginner to benefit from education.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is go back and sharpen a skill you already have.

Online Permanent Makeup Courses by Ms Amber Red

Let's get into the actual courses.

I've created training around some of the procedures artists ask me about the most, including eyeliner, brows and lips.

Each course has its own focus, so you can choose the training that makes sense for where you are in your career.

Classic Top & Bottom Eyeliner Course

If you've been following me for any amount of time, you already know eyeliner is my thing.

And the Classic Top & Bottom Eyeliner Course is one of my most popular courses for a reason.

Permanent eyeliner can be intimidating.

There's not a lot of room for “close enough” when you're working around someone's eyes.

You need to understand design, placement, stretching, needle control, saturation and how the skin is going to respond.

And you need to understand how to create an eyeliner result that actually makes sense for the client's eye shape.

This course takes you through my approach to classic top and bottom eyeliner so you can better understand the procedure from start to finish.

What can this course help you with?

You'll learn about things like:

• Eyeliner design

• Mapping and pre-drawing

• Eye shapes

• Machine and needle considerations

• Stretching the skin

• Creating consistent lines

• Saturation

• Working around the delicate eye area

• Procedure techniques

• My approach to creating healed eyeliner

This is a great option if you want to add permanent eyeliner to your service menu or improve your current eyeliner work.

Striking Brows Course

Brows are one of the most requested permanent makeup services, but that doesn't mean they're easy.

There is a HUGE difference between knowing how to tattoo a brow and understanding how to create a brow that makes sense for the individual client.

The Striking Brows Course focuses on creating a bold, defined brow while understanding the fundamentals behind the procedure.

If you want to offer machine brows and you're looking for online permanent makeup training specifically focused on brows, this is a course worth looking at.

We get into the procedure, design and technique so you can better understand how to approach this style of brow.

Who is this course for?

This can be useful for artists who:

• Want to add machine brows to their menu

• Want a stronger understanding of brow design

• Want to improve their saturation

• Want to create a more defined brow

• Already offer brows but want to refine their technique

Pixelated & Bold Ombre Brows Course

If you're interested in ombre brows, powder brows or machine shading, this is where things get more specific.

The Pixelated & Bold Ombre Brows Course focuses on creating a bold, pixelated brow effect rather than simply shading the skin and hoping for the best.

Understanding how to build your pixels, saturation and density is a huge part of creating a healed brow that actually looks intentional.

This course is for artists who want to understand my approach to creating a stronger, more defined ombre-style brow.

Why does technique matter so much with ombre brows?

Because you can't judge your work solely by what it looks like immediately after the procedure.

Fresh brows can look completely different from healed brows.

You need to understand how you're putting pigment into the skin and how your technique affects the healed result.

That's something I talk about throughout my training.

Long Lasting Lippies Course

Lips are another area where artists can get themselves into trouble if they don't understand what's happening underneath the skin.

The Long Lasting Lippies Course is designed for artists who want to learn more about permanent lip procedures and creating longer-lasting lip color.

We're talking about technique, saturation, color and how to approach the lip procedure with intention.

Because permanent lip makeup isn't just about choosing a pretty pigment.

You need to understand the client's natural lip color, their desired result, how the skin is going to respond and how you're building the color.

This course can be a great addition if you already offer brows and want to expand into lip blush and permanent lip makeup.

The Full Face Bundle

If you're looking for more than one procedure, there's also the Full Face Vault.

Instead of focusing on just one area, this gives artists access to training covering multiple permanent makeup procedures.

This can be especially useful if you're building out your service menu and want to continue learning without buying individual training every time you want to expand.

If you're serious about building a career in PMU, having education you can return to as you grow can be incredibly valuable.

What Makes Online PMU Training Different From Just Watching YouTube?

Let's talk about this because I know what artists do.

You see a video on Instagram.

Then another one on TikTok.

Then you end up on YouTube watching somebody tattoo brows at 1:00 in the morning.

And suddenly you've convinced yourself you learned something.

I've done the same thing with other industries.

But there's a difference between watching random content and taking an actual online permanent makeup course.

Random videos can give you little pieces of information.

A structured course gives you a system.

You can follow the procedure from beginning to end instead of trying to piece together information from 47 different artists who all teach something differently.

And honestly, that's one of the biggest reasons I created Inspired by Ms Amber Red.

I want you to be able to sit down and actually learn.

Not just scroll.

What If I'm Already a Permanent Makeup Artist?

Then don't assume these courses aren't for you.

Experienced artists can benefit from training too.

Maybe you've been doing brows for five years but still don't feel confident with eyeliner.

Maybe you learned eyeliner from someone else but want to see a completely different approach.

Maybe your lip work is good, but you want to improve your color understanding.

Maybe you've taken a break from PMU and need a refresher.

Or maybe you simply want to watch another experienced artist work.

That's education.

You don't have to be bad at something to learn more about it.

I've been doing this for more than a decade and I'm still learning.

That's not a weakness.

That's how you stay good.

Online PMU Courses Give You Flexibility

One of the biggest advantages of online permanent makeup training is that you don't have to completely rearrange your life to learn.

You can fit education around your existing schedule.

Maybe you have clients all day.

Maybe you have kids.

Maybe you're working another job while building your PMU business.

Maybe you're located somewhere that doesn't have a ton of permanent makeup educators nearby.

Or maybe you simply learn better when you can watch something multiple times.

That's where online training makes sense.

You can take the course with you.

Watch it when you have time.

Stop when you need to.

Take notes.

Practice.

Come back.

Watch it again.

You control the pace.

But Let's Be Real About Online Permanent Makeup Training

I'm not going to tell you that taking an online course means you'll immediately become an amazing PMU artist.

That's bullshit.

Education is one piece of the puzzle.

You also need practice.

You need to understand sanitation and safety.

You need to follow your local regulations.

You need to understand your equipment.

You need to work on your technique.

You need to practice on appropriate models.

And you need to learn how to work with actual clients.

An online PMU course gives you information and instruction.

What you do with that information is up to you.

The artists who get the most out of my courses aren't the ones who simply watch the videos.

They're the ones who actually take the information and put it into practice.

How Online PMU Training Can Help Your Career

Adding new permanent makeup services can open up opportunities for your business.

If you currently offer one procedure, learning another can allow you to serve more clients.

For example, if you're already doing brows, adding eyeliner or lips can help you create a more complete PMU service menu.

And if you're a new artist, developing multiple skills can help you figure out what procedures you actually enjoy doing.

Education can also help you become more confident.

And confidence matters when you're sitting across from a client who's trusting you with their face.

But remember:

Confidence should come from knowledge and practice—not from pretending you know everything.

That's the kind of artist I want you to become.

Which PMU Course Should You Take First?

If you're staring at all of the options and thinking, “Okay, but which one do I actually need?”, here's how I'd look at it.

If you want to learn eyeliner:

Start with the Classic Top & Bottom Eyeliner Course.

If you want to improve your machine brow work:

Look at Striking Brows.

If you specifically want to learn bold ombre/pixelated brows:

Check out Pixelated & Bold Ombre Brows.

If you want to add permanent lip procedures:

Take a look at Long Lasting Lippies.

If you want multiple procedures:

The Full Face Bundle may make more sense.

And if there's one procedure you've been avoiding because you don't feel confident with it?

That's probably the one you should learn.

You Don't Need to Know Everything to Get Started

One of the biggest mistakes I see new artists make is thinking they need to master everything before they can start building their business.

You don't.

You need a solid foundation.

Then you build from there.

Learn a procedure.

Practice it.

Get better.

Add another service.

Keep learning.

Build your portfolio.

Work with clients.

Learn from your mistakes.

And keep going.

That's how you build a career in permanent makeup.

Not overnight.

Not from one Instagram reel.

And definitely not from a certificate sitting in a folder somewhere.

Ready to Take Your PMU Skills Further?

If you're serious about becoming a better permanent makeup artist, continuing your education is one of the best investments you can make in yourself and your business.

Whether you're brand new to PMU or you've already been tattooing for years, Inspired by Ms Amber Red gives you the opportunity to learn specific permanent makeup procedures from my experience as an artist who has been doing this for more than 13 years.

You don't need to take every course.

You don't need to learn everything at once.

Start with the procedure you want to improve.

Then put the work in.

Practice.

Ask questions.

Keep learning.

And build from there.

Looking for More Than Online Training?

If you're in Las Vegas or planning to travel for PMU education, keep an eye on what's happening at the Ms Amber Red studio and through Inspired by Ms Amber Red.

We also offer live education, workshops, demonstrations and opportunities for artists to learn in person.

Check out our PMU workshops.

Because online education is convenient—but sometimes there's nothing like standing in the room with another artist, watching the procedure happen in real time and being able to ask questions.

That's why I believe in both.

Learn online.

Practice.

Get hands-on experience.

Keep sharpening your skills.

That's how you become a better artist.

And that's the whole point.

I'm not interested in creating artists who can just say they took a PMU course.

I want to help create artists who actually understand what they're doing when they pick up their machine.

That's what Inspired by Ms Amber Red is all about.
